New Hybrid & GT Cockpit Design
We completely redesigned the cockpit, increasing space, increasing window sizes, adding streamlined seating that is easier to lounge, without compromising our excellent helm position or the ability to manage all lines in the cockpit easily.
We are excited to announce our NEW Hybrid option for the Antares 44. We assembled a team of customers, owners, and engineers to design a proven technology solution without compromising our high standards.
Antares 44 GT vs. Antares 44 Hybrid The Antares 44 GT and Antares 44 Hybrid both share the same design and have the new upgrades to the cockpit, electrical systems, increased ventilation inside, etc.  However, there are some significant differences – the largest is ‘how’ the boat is powered.  These changes are highlighted below.  For additional details on the hybrid design and components, please visit our hybrid page here.
Construction
The hull and deck are constructed of Isophthalic acid resin and tri-axial knitted fiberglass fabric. The skinning layer is 100% vinylester on the exterior, and polyester on the interior. Above the waterline, the hulls and deck are cored with 3⁄4” Corecell foam, except for hardware attachment points. All coring is vacuum-bagged to ensure 100% adhesion. Below the waterline, the hulls are solid fiberglass. There are two (2) forward watertight compartments, one inside each bow locker, as well as four (4) watertight bulkheads, two (2) forward and two (2) aft. Standard fin keels have a sacrificial section allowing for substantial damage to the keels without affecting hull integrity. The hull is treated with epoxy barrier coat and Self Polishing
Copolymer Antifouling. The hull color is white.
